Delicious Blueberry Cream Cheese Danishes
These danishes feature a buttery pastry filled with a rich cream cheese mixture and topped with juicy blueberries. The preparation time is about 20 minutes, and they bake to golden perfection in 25 minutes, yielding 8 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into squares, about 4×4 inches.
- Fill the Pastry: Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top with a few blueberries.
- Shape the Danishes: Fold the corners of the pastry squares towards the center, pinching them to seal. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the danishes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the danishes to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
